Net Zero Strategy

Natural Capital Investment

MANAGE, MONITOR AND REPORT We value natural capital through our unique approach to recycling and the Circular Economy of our construction activities. In addition to this, we utilise our land to improve biodiversity, sequester carbon, and improve local visual landscape. As a manufacturer, we have invested in research and development through our laboratory to search for opportunities to avoid the use of natural capital. This includes quarries, bitumen, fossil fuels, materials and other virgin sources. Our efforts will go hand in hand with our material efficiency proposals as less raw materials used/wasted will directly correlate to natural capital enhancement. Carbon offsetting is a term which allows for the quantity of GHGs resulting from a company’s activities to be removed by compensatory measures. Whilst it is recognised that this is not a long-term solution to address the climate emergency, this option remains viable for FM Conway where technology is not sufficiently advanced or available in a commercial setting to remove our GHGs. We will, therefore, use offsetting as a stepping-stone to allow the business to reduce its carbon emissions and demonstrate a commitment to a carbon neutral future.
